Oscar

by Jean-Louis Sieuzac

Oscar de la Renta Oscar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1977, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Oscar opens with Peach, Basil, Clove, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Lavender, Rose, Iris, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Coconut, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Oscar de la Renta's Oscar carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Oscar is a classic 70s powerhouse, divisive for its 'old-fashioned' vibe, but loved by many for its opulent white florals and warm embrace. It's a journey, not a fleeting trend, demanding confidence but rewarding with a truly unique presence.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, Oscar leans away from everyday office wear where it could be overwhelming. Its rich white floral and amber accords, combined with a 'classy' and 'luxurious' sentiment from reviews, make it perfect for formal events and romantic dates, while being less suited for casual or sporty settings.

About

This is a grand dame of a fragrance, opening with a bold, almost sparkling aldehydic burst, quickly settling into a rich bouquet of creamy white florals like gardenia and tuberose. Beneath this floral heart, a nuanced warmth emerges from cloves and a blend of aromatic spices, before finally resting on a comforting, powdery base of amber, sandalwood, and a whisper of coconut, maintaining a sophisticated depth throughout.
